Under Weight?

Sorry I haven't made any posts in a while- we have been super busy with a lot of things. I started a job selling cloth diapers and Bryan is finally pulling more shifts at the fire department which he is thrilled about. Anyways, my big boy had his none month doctors appointment yesterday. I was really looking forward to it. I was so excited to tell him all of Jackson new accomplishments. Like waving good-bye, saying mama, and almost being able to walk. Jackson weighted 16 and a half pounds and was 27 and a quarter inches long. I knew he was a tiny little baby but in no way did I think he was too small. The doctor got so upset by Jackson's weight that he 'perscribed' formula. He wants me to stop breastfeeding and give my baby formula. One thing, that as a parent, I feel very strongly about is breastfeeding. He also says that my baby sleeps way too much. I have always read that a baby who sleeps 12 hours at night is completely normal and is not a reason for worry. This incident at the doctors just put me over my breaking point. Not every baby can be in the 50th percentile. Someones gotta be at the bottom and it just happens to be my son. I just wanted to make this post to point out that there are other ways to help a baby gain weight besides formula! You can mix olive oil and coconut oil into their food and you can feed them foods like avocado that have healthy natural fats in them. We have started our search for a doctor that has similier views on nutrition as us that our current doctor doesnt have. There is a perfect doctor out there for everyone and has much as I love this mans personality he just isnt for us.

Does this look like an unhealthy baby to you?

I didn't think so lol
